Recreational marijuana ballot measure organizers hold press conference in latest campaign effort

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - In another effort to campaign as we get closer to election day, the Yes on 29 campaign held a press conference on Thursday.

The Initiated Measure would legalize recreational marijuana if passed.

Maybe the third time is a charm for recreational marijuana in the state of South Dakota. After a lawsuit in 2020 and a failed vote in 2022, Yes on 29 is optimistic about this year’s effort.

The event lasted less than half an hour, but reporters got the chance to hear from campaign manager Brad Jurgensen and a former South Dakota Highway Patrol Trooper who spoke on his experiences policing marijuana.
